NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Cowboys owner Jerry Jones admitted on a Dallas radio show that he has tried to lure successful NFL coaches away from their current teams, which constitutes tampering under league rules.
- This admission came as part of Jones's effort to counter the perception that he deliberately underspends on coaching staff.
- Jones's earlier claim that there is no correlation between coaching pay and winning was widely criticized and seen as an attempt to justify frugality.
- The NFL is unlikely to investigate Jones's statement, possibly viewing it as a strategic comment rather than a serious violation.
- Overall, the incident highlights ongoing concerns about Jones's commitment to investing adequately in coaching to improve the Cowboys.
